Not only that President Bush has dispatched a number of helicopters to Pakistan for emergency rescue operations in remote devastated areas, he has also announced initial monetary help to the tune of US $ 40 millions.
A White House spokesman said that the US President has been shocked by the loss of life and property as a result of the severest-ever quake and has pledged to extend optimal aid in every form to alleviate the sufferings of the affectees in the minimum time.
Such a great, grand and generous offer by the only super power—USA—is highly admirable. It manifests—beyond any shadow of doubt that America holds Pakistan in high esteem and that the two countries are linked in eternal friendship—for all times to come.
While expressing, our inmost gratitude to the great leader of a great nation—America, we say—in categorical words—‘Thank you, Mr. Bush’. Earlier, President Gen Pervez Musharraf had appealed to the world for medicines, tents, cargo helicopters and funds to overcome the worst earthquake disaster of Pakistan’s history, which evoked swift response from the international fiscal institutions and countries—with USA atop.

It reads reminiscent of one of the Nigerian Scam e-mails I frequently get.
It's always interesting to read one of these language-translated articles. It does seem to show the gratitude of a people, and that's all I really expect when we come to someone's aid: A sincere thank you.

"I say we make Louisiana secede from the Union and replace it with Pakistan. Definitely a future Red State."
There are still businesses in Pakistan that put Osama bin Laden in their advertisements to sell products. It's probably the most anti-American country in the world, though they seem to like us right now with us giving them 50 million dollars after they were praising Allah for Hurricane Katrina.
While we are there..you think the Pakistanis will mind if we search for a 6foot 5 Arab?
:-)
Granted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it true no one in Pakistan has blamed President Bush for the earthquake?
